The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. It selects internationally trained and experienced workers who possess skills needed in the local labor market.

To identify candidates who meet employer needs, the MPNP determines in-demand occupations using Manitoba's labour market information and occupational forecasts, along with employer consultations. The occupations listed use the 2021 version of the National Occupation Classification (NOC).
